This is a Memorandum recommending other than full and open competition for a federal contract acquisition.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) seeks to procure Electronic Armor (EA) software support and engineering services from Nightwing Intelligence Solutions LLC. The requirement is justified by a Secretary of War (SECWAR) mandate directing the delivery of Nightwing EA Program protection solutions, with no known alternatives or substitutes available. Market research confirmed that proprietary data limitations restrict competition, with Nightwing having limited authorized resellers for their software and support.

The base contract period is 12 months after order receipt and includes five software packages: EA Packager – Perpetual (quantity 2), EA-OS Execution Enabler with Boot Shield (quantity 30), EA-OS Execution Enabler – Specialized (quantity 51), and two Level 4 Services Packages (quantities 1 and 1, totaling 4,000 hours each). Optional items span fiscal years 2027 through 2030 and include additional quantities of the base items plus various tiered services packages ranging from Level 0 to Level 4 with hour allocations between 200 and 4,000 hours. Four optional 12-month periods follow the base performance period. Delivery is requested as soon as possible after order receipt. Annual Operations and Maintenance Navy (OMN) funds will support the procurement across fiscal years 2026 through 2030. The estimated cost is redacted. The contracting officer has determined that only one or limited sources are reasonably available, supporting the single-source justification.
